Barack Obama's speeches contain a lot of talk about "hope" and "change," but not much about his actual agenda. He remains a cipher. Here is a discussion about one of his proposed laws in the Senate that reveals how dangerous he is to consevative principles. Actually his proposed law does reveal his fascist tendencies. (One aspect of fascism is the co-opting of corporations.)

An interview in The Nation's blog with Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH):

"I've talked to Barack a lot about his Patriot Corporation Act, which is not trade per se, but it's certainly part of the economic package around globalization. The Patriot Corporation Act has not gotten the attention that I would hope it would. But, basically it says that if you play by the rules, if you pay decent wages, health benefits, pension; do your production here; don't resist unionization on neutral card check, then you will be designated a "Patriot Corporation" and you will get tax advantages and some [preference] on government contracts."


What does "play by the rules mean?" Perhaps that means do as Democratic Party tells you or we punish you. Isn't that fascism? Imagine the MSM outcry if President Bush proposed such a law.
